About This Book
Kyle Davis was ready for college, ready for new friends, and ready for a change. He wasn't ready for her.
Karl Bimshas's second novel, He Loves It When She Smiles, is a bittersweet and humorous romance set in 1980s Boston.
Determined to escape suburbia and start with a clean slate, freshman Kyle Davis heads off to Klondike College. His academic studies quickly take a back seat to the slow blooming crush he's developed on a flirty co-ed with a captivating smile.
His new friends provide a glut of unsolicited dating advice but can't prevent his continually floundering. Confused, discouraged, and rejected, he finally hears one voice he should have been listening to all along.
The immediately likable and intriguing characters will hook you. Roommate Adam has an obsessive attention to detail. The girls across the hall, Sandy and Casey, are offbeat, hip, and blunt. Classmate Pete is always ready with a terse quip laced with logic. Pete's roommate, Donny Rifkin, is the campus Romeo, and Laura Ripley is a look-alike of Kyle's favorite singer, with a smile that mesmerizes him. They all interact through vivid dialogue so real you'll think you're eavesdropping.
Like his first novel, Three Blinks and a Sigh, Karl Bimshas's second novel is set in Boston. It's as brisk a read as an autumn breeze blowing off the Charles River. Karl Bimshas is also the author of several business and motivation books and programs that have helped leaders, artists, and entrepreneurs to find, set, and get their great goals and discover the aha within themselves.
